OILWELLPUMP ING APPARATUS.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Apr. 80, 1918.

Application'filed May 4, 1917; Serial No. 166,411.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, FRANCIS J. OCon- NELL, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of VVellsville, in the county of Allegany and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Oilell-Pumping Apparatus, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to improvements in oil well pumping apparatus and the object of the invention is to provide a construction and arrangement; of parts which will be-very efficient in use, simple in construction, easily installed and as readily repaired.

The invention will be hereinafter particularly described and then definitely claimed.

In the drawings accompanying and forming part hereof:

Figure 1 is a side elevation of the preferable embodiment of my pumping apparatus.

Fig. 2 is a top plan view.

Fig. 3 is a perspective view of certain parts detached.

Referring now to the details of the drawings by numerals: 1 represents an oil well which may be of the usual or any desired construction which is of course provided with a pumping rod, as 2. My invention has nothing to do with the well or its pumping rod.

At opposite sides of the well I form concrete bases 3 and tic. Embedded in the base 3 and projecting slightly from the top thereof are two pipes 6 and 8. These pipes are designed to receive the fittings of the usual jack, and form a substantial support for said jack and its fittings. The jack is designated by the numeral 10 and it is provided at the point where it is fulcrumed with a fitting 12 having journals 1 1 and 16 projecting from opposite sides thereof. These journals 14 and 16 are adapted to project, respectively, into fittings 18 and 20. These fittings are of peculiar construction and best shown in Fig. 3. From there it will be seen that each of said fittings has a socket as 22 to fit over the projecting ends of the pipes 6 and 8 and asocket 24 to receive the journals projecting from the jack. In placing the parts in position the fittings are first placed upon the jack, by inserting the journals 14 and 16 in the sockets 24 of the fittings 18 and 20, when the fittings will be in just the proper position to have their sockets 22 slip over the projecting ends of the pipes 6 and 8. It is notnecessary to thread'anyof the parts for they will hold themselves in proper operative position by reason of their construction and the weight of the parts. Each of the fittings 18 and 20 is also provided with a lug 26 projecting from the rear side thereof, as clearly shown in Fig. 3, and for a purpose to be described.

The concrete base 4i 011 the opposite side of the well has the lower ends of two pipes 28 and 30 embedded therein, these aims extending upwardly to a height suiicient to support the operating beam. Horizontal pipes 32 and 34 serving as braces connect the lower ends of the vertical pipes 28 and 30 with the lugs 26 hereinbefore described as projecting from the rear ends of the fittings 18 and 20, and diagonal pipes 36 and 38, also serving as braces also connect said lugs 26, projecting from the fittings 18 and 20, with the upper ends of the pipes 28 and 30, as clearly shown in the drawings. A bolt 10 passes through the vertical pipes 28 and 30 and through the ends of the bracing pipes 32 and 34- to secure them together and bolts l2 and 44 respectively pass through the horizontal pipe 32, the lug 26 and the diagonal brace 36 on one side and the horizontal pipe 3%, the lug 26 and the diagonal pipe 38 on the other side. A bolt 46 passes through the vertical pipes 28 and 30 and through the diagonal bracing pipes 36 and38 and also affords a pivotal support for the lOGitlTl which, as illustrated in Figs. 1 and 2, consists of two pipes 50 and 52 whichextend from the pivotal bolt 46 forward to a point in advance of the pumping red as illustrated in Fig. 1. The front ends of these pipes 50 and 52 forming the beam are secured to the pitman 54. by means of a bolt 56, the 'lower end of the pitman being secured to the horizontal member of the jack 10. The two pipes 50 and 52 of the beam straddle the adjuster 58 secured to the pumping rod 2, said adjuster having lugs 60 which normally rest upon the beam pipes 50 and 52, the aforesaid pivot 56 having two braces 64: and 66 having hooked ends 68 and 70 which slip over theaforesaid lugs 60 projecting laterally from the adjuster 58.

At the lower end of the two vertical. pipes 28 and 30 is secured a horizontal base pipe '71 and from the free ends of this base pipe are secured brace rods 72 and 74- which connect with the upper ends of the vertical pipes 28 and 30, as illustrated in Figs. 1 and 2. r

From the foregoing and accompanying drawings it will be seen that I have invented upper ends of the pipes 6 and 8, when the fittings can be moved laterallyfrom the journals 14 and 16 and the jack removed and as easily replaced.

What I claim as new is:

a 1. In apparatus of the character described, a pumping jack having journals extending therefrom in combination with fittings having horizontal sockets to receive said jour-' nals and vertical sockets to drop over vertical pipes. 7

2. In apparatus of the character described, a pumping jack having journals extending therefrom in combination with fittings having horizontal sockets to receive said journals, vertical sockets to drop over vertical pipes,.and lugs projecting rearwardly to receive brace rods.

' 3. In a device of the character described, a pair of pipes projecting upward from a suitable base, a pair of fittings having vertical sockets arranged to drop over said projecting pipes, said fittings having horizontally projecting sockets facing each other, and a jack arranged to be located between said fittings and having journals fitting into said horizontal sockets.

4. In a'device of the character described,

I a pair of. pipes projecting upward from a suitable base, a pair of fittings having vertical sockets arranged to drop over said projecting pipes, said fittings having horizontally projecting sockets facing each other, and a jack arranged to be located between said fittings and having journals'fitting into said horizontal socket-s, said fittings also having lugs projecting from the rear thereof to be adapted to have brace'rods secured theretot .5. In a device of the character described, a pair of pipes projecting upwardly from a suitable base, fittings having sockets adapted to project over said pipes, and lugs projecting from saidfittings, a jack supported by said fittings, a pair of pipes projecting upward from the ground, a beam supported H near the upper end of said pipes, and bracing members extending from said fittings to the copies or this patent may be obtained for upper ends of said up *ardly extending pipes.

6. In a device of the character described, a pair of pipes projecting from a suitable base, a jack provided with fittings adapted to be secured to said pipes, a pair of pipes projecting upwardly from a second base, a beam supported near the upper ends of said pipes, a pitman connecting the free ends of said beam with said jack, and diagonal braces connecting the upper ends of said beam pipes with the aforesaid fittings.

7. In a device of the character described, a pair of pipes projecting from a suitable base, a jack supported thereby, a pair of pipes projecting upwardly from a second base, a beam comprising a pair of pipes pivotally supported by said upright pipes, the free ends of said pipes being connected with the aforesaid jack, and diagonal pipes extending from the upper ends of the beam supporting pipes to the pipes supporting the ack.

8. In a device of the character described, a suitable pump having a pumping rod, a pair of pipes projecting from a suitable base, a jack supported thereby, a pair of pipes projecting upwardly from a second base, a beam comprising a pair of pipes pivotally supported by said upright pipes, and having their free ends straddling the aforesaid pumping rod, a pitman connecting said free ends with said jack, and diagonal pipes extending from the upper ends of the pump supporting pipes to the pipes supporting the jack.

9. In device of the character described, a suitable pump having a pumping rod, a pair of pipes projecting from a suitable base, fittings having sockets adapted to project over said pipes and lugs projecting from said fittings, a jack supported by said fittings, a pair of pipes projecting upwardly from a second base, a beam comprising a pair of pipes suitably supported by said upright pipes and having their free ends straddling the aforesaid pumping rod, a pitman connecting said free ends with the aforesaid jack, and diagonal pipes extending from the upper ends of the pitman supporting device to the lugs projecting from the aforesaid fittings.

In testimony whereof I aiiix my signature in presence of a witness.
